Somebody told Mary Mary had to tell her friends
Jim got to work and he had to tell it over and over again
It`s the hardest thing in town how the news must get around
I wanted to be the first to tell you I love you
We`ve been sittin` in the classroom nine long years or so
And the smile you gave me every day made me wanna know
But someone saw me as I wrote our names side by side
In a heart on my valentine to you
Now everyone knows I guess includin` you
It won`t change the way I feel or the things that I do
It`s been on my mind so long I`m glad they`ve spread the news
Now I only hope you`ll say I love you too
Somebody told Mary...
